We are back

We have all returned from our fabulous trip to New Hampshire.

Gail and Andy left to travel to New Hampshire on the 5th. They both flew out of Las Vegas and found a great deal at a local hotel which allowed them to park for the week and then on their return spend the night, total cost came to less than $100.00. The downside was that the flight left at 11:55 PM, so it was a long night or short morning depending on who you speak with. Thankfully, we arrived safely and without any delay. We were excited to see the boys as we missed them.

We did arrive on Wednesday to a good amount of rain. In fact, it did not stop raining until Friday. While in NH we visited with family and friends, all of which was wonderful. We spent a few days in Tamworth, NH and did some shopping. The weekend we were in Tamworth was the only time we saw the sun the whole time there. Oh well. The boys even had a chance to visit their favorite barbershop in Concord. Yes, we also got to see Oliver our cat we had to leave in NH when we moved to Elko. Overall it was a fantastic trip and are grateful we got to see as many people as we did.

All of us travelled back together and we left NH on Tuesday afternoon. I do not think there was a dry eye when we got onto the plane. Again, we had an uneventful flight and made it safely to Las Vegas. Wednesday morning we got up and did some exploring. We checked out the lions at the MGM Grand and went over to Circus Circus to watch some of the acts and play the midway games. The boys won some prizes. We got back to Elko about midnight. We enjoyed Las Vegas, but were glad to get back to the rural area without all the traffic and noise. We hate to admit it, but are probably beginning to appreciate the quiet nature of where we live.

Andy and Gail had to get back to work Thursday. Andy made it to his office for a couple of hours before heading out to Wendover to meet with his clients on Thursday and attend Court all day Friday. He got home Friday evening about 6pm and was glad to finally get a good nights rest in his own bed. This weekend was full of unpacking and cleaning up the house and getting ready for school to begin. The boys begin tomorrow morning. Thursday morning we had a chance to meet Matthew's teacher and are excited for this new year. It is amazing to think the summer is over.

Gail's Pampered Chef business continues to do well. While in NH Gail got to attend some Pampered Chef meetings and Saturday she had a very successful show which has lead to her booking three more shows. We are glad things have taken off for her.

That about sums up the week. We hope all of you are doing well and until next week.
